The Office is a definitive sitcom that set a standard for comedy series' across the board with its documentary-style setting. Despite the fact that Ricky Gervais played the boss in the UK version of the original series, it was the US adaptation that received significant praise and success.

One of the most well-liked TV characters in history is Michael Scott, who was portrayed by Steve Carell.

The news about the reboot has not been taken well by fans who are skeptical about another version of the already popular series. It seems impossible to imagine any of The Office's main characters being played by a different actor.

The renowned program will apparently be rebooted, according to the network which suggests that there will be a significant cast shift, possibly with new actors filling in every position.

One fan reacted to a post made by RapTV on Instagram, saying:
